Bossies 2014: The Best of Open Source Software Awards by Doug Dineley.

From the post:

If you hadn’t noticed, we’re in the midst of an incredible boom in enterprise technology development — and open source is leading it. You’re unlikely to find better proof of that dynamism than this year’s Best of Open Source Software Awards, affectionately known as the Bossies.

Have a look for yourself. The result of months of exploration and evaluation, plus the recommendations of many expert contributors, the 2014 Bossies cover more than 130 award winners in six categories:
…
(emphasis added)

Hard to judge the count because winners are presented one page at a time in each category. Not to mention that at least one winner appears in two separate categories.

Put into lists and sorted for review we find:

Open source applications (16)

Open source application development tools (42)

Open source big data tools (20)

Open source desktop and mobile software (14)

Open source data center and cloud software (19)

Open source networking and security software (9)

Creating the list presentation allows us to discover the actual count, allowing for entries with more than one software package mentioned, is 122 software packages.

BTW, Docker appears under application development tools and under data center and cloud software. Which should make the final count 121 different software packages. (You will have to check the entries at InfoWorld to verify that number.)

PS: The original presentation was in no discernible order. I put the lists into alphabetical order for ease of finding.
